CASE #7 <br /> <br />Consider Placement of Pedestrian Crossing Sign at Potassium Street <br />and Sunwood Drive <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Thc City has a sidewalk system that is not universal to all streets. In fact, along Sunwood <br />Drivc between Nowthen Boulevard and Sunfish Lake Boulevard there is only a single <br />location, the intersection with Potassium Street, where the sidewalk system requires the <br />crossing of Sunwood Drive to continue travel along the sidewalk/trail system. Staff <br />believes this unique feature warrants the posting of a Pedestrian Crossing sign to warn <br />motorists that pedestrians crossing at this location are a more likely event than at other <br />poi nts along this segment of roadway. State law requires that motorists yield to pedestrians <br />in marked crosswalks and this posting should provide an additional degree of protection to <br />the trail system users. The cost associated with this signage is approximately $800, which <br />would come from the public works signs account. <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that a Pedestrian Crossing sign be posted at the <br />intersection of Potassium Street and Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Rati fy thc recommendation of the Public Works Committee. <br /> <br />CASE #8 Consider Strom Sewer Utility Improvement Projects <br /> <br />It was determined to discuss this case at the next Committee meeting due to time <br />constraints. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />None requircd. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE/STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />CC: 06/14/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
